Hello,

By "icons" if I understood right, you mean the thumbnail view of the files.
Go to the Windows Explorer, click any folders in which it is showing
thumbnail view. Click the Views button on top and select details.

Then you click the Tools Menu in Windows Explorer, go to folder options,
click the View tab - Apply to All Folders - OK. If you open any folder later
it will show the files as details view, never as thumbnail view or icons as
you call it.

Hope this will help you.
